The following is sent on behalf of Steve VanRoekel, U.S. Chief Information Officer, OMB.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chief Information Officers;
Today, the Federal CIO issued the attached memorandum entitled “ Requirements for Accepting Externally-Issued Identity Credentials .” As we work to achieve a more responsive
and cost-effective government, it is essential that we identify opportunities to both improve services that deliver results for the American people, ensure their information is private and secure online and eliminate duplication. Currently, members of the
public and business partners maintain dozens of identity credentials to interact with the government online, and agencies maintain duplicative backend systems. To decrease the burden on users of our systems, and reduce costs associated with managing credentials,
agencies are to begin leveraging externally-issued credentials, in addition to continuing to offer federally-issued credentials.
The specific requirements are outlined in the memorandum. Additionally, OMB and GSA will meet with agencies to provide additional information regarding this memorandum and to share
best practices. Attachment B of the memo includes the schedule of agency meetings.
If you have questions, please contact Carol Bales at 202-395-9915 or
eauth@omb.eop.gov ,
or Deborah Gallagher at 202-219-1627 or
ICAM@gsa.gov .
Thank you.
